Nordic Capital sells its holding in FinnvedenBulten AB

March 06 2014

Nordic Capital Fund V ("Nordic Capital") has, through
Finnveden S.à r.l, an indirectly owned company, sold its entire
holding of 4 874 273 shares, corresponding to 23.2% of the shares
in FinnvedenBulten AB ("FinnvedenBulten") to institutional
investors. The transaction took place on March 5, and following the
sale, Nordic Capital no longer holds any shares in
FinnvedenBulten.

"It has been an exciting journey since Nordic Capital's
acquisition in 2005. After many years of intensive industrial work,
the company now has an attractive platform for continued growth.
Nordic Capital has great confidence in FinnvedenBulten's management
and board and their ability to continue to develop the company. It
is very positive to be able to hand over the long-term majority
ownership to Volito, which has increased its ownership to over
20%," says Ulf Rosberg, Senior Advisor, NC Advisory AB, advisor to
the Nordic Capital Funds.

Nordic Capital acquired FinnvedenBulten in 2005 through a
public offering from the then Stockholm Stock Exchange. The main
purpose of the acquisition was to make major investments, as well
as to further develop and refine the business, increasing the focus
on growth. During Nordic Capital's ownership period FinnvedenBulten
was consolidated following the divestment of two business areas;
Bufab was established as an independent company and Finnveden
Powertrain was divested. Post the consolidation, FinnvedenBulten,
expanded organically and improved its geographic presence and was
re-listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm in May 2011 as a profitable and
competitive company.
